Theoretical mathematicians are pure scientists and they solve no practical problems. Is this in response to Scientists are not in general philosophers, they're problem solvers. ? If so, your response ignores one qualifier of mine and adds one of your own. Theoretical mathematicians deal in a very rigorously logical field, where "proof" has a much more precise meaning than it does in the world at large, scientific or not. They get closer to the realm of philosophy than most scientists. They do solve problems, though. The critique Mullis and Duesberg on AIDS does not refute the "proof" that HIV causes AIDS, because it wasn't a mathematical-style proof to begin with.
